Open House Review: 19 Oakdale

Posted: 29 Oct 2013 05:00 AM PDT

Remodeled Woodbridge Village Single Family Home     
19 Oakdale  $747,500

Heading along West Yale Loop in Woodbridge and turning into the outer circle, off of Woodhollow takes you to this corner property on Oakdale that has been on the market 11 days as of Saturday.  There was a steady flow of visitors at the Saturday open house, and it will be interesting to see how the price, location and updates play out in this single family Woodbridge home.

Significant Numbers: Built in 1978, this 3 bedroom, two bath single level 1,564 sq. ft. home has HOA dues of $82 a month and the cost per square foot is $478. The lot size is 4,792 sq. ft.. The home has been newly remodeled and freshly painted.

Close Up:   Stepping into the tiled entry, to the left there is a good sized living room with a vaulted ceiling, Inglenook fireplace and windowed seating nook. Straight ahead there is a formal dining area that overlooks a small atrium. To the right a hall leads to the kitchen with breakfast bar and a casual dining area that could also be used as a family room. It opens to the patio and backyard.

The living room, dining room and kitchen all have new distressed hardwood flooring. New shutters have been added throughout the home, making the most of the numerous windows.

The master bedroom has a bath with a double vanity and newly remodeled  travertine tile shower. One of the 3 bedrooms serves as a study and the second bath has also been remodeled with enclosed tub and shower. There is an attached double garage with laundry.

Specifics:
Single Family
Bedrooms, 3
Baths, 2
Detached/no common walls
Association Pool, Spa
Central furnace, central air
Double garage
Two parking spaces
Laundry in garage

What will be considered here?   Even though it is in the outer circle off of West Yale Loop, Woodbridge’s  top schools, key recreation and community atmosphere  will add value. Overall, the home is a little snug in size and the corner location uses up quite a bit of the outside space. The upgrades in flooring, shutters and tile work well, and additional value might be achieved with expansions or more upgrades.

Who will choose this home? A young family looking for a single family home in Woodbridge may be attracted to this location. Or a mature couple looking for a single level home with extra bedrooms for guests, grandchildren and projects may find this home very workable.
